History:
Carmen was born and raised in a suburb of Chicago, & had always loved the sprawling city. To her it was an enigma packed full of surprises. From an early age she knew EXACTLY what she wanted out of life. A) To live in a Mansion and B) to be someone's right hand Girl Friday. Indispensable and always on top of things. Her parents thought it was an odd goal, but if they're only daughter in a family of 6 boys...then so be it.
They made sure she had every opportunity to learn in an effort to meet that goal. However, Carmen's older brother always disagreed and tried to make her into a complete tomboy. One day he made the mistake of daring her to a duel with baseball bats, THEN making a snide remark about her large chest. Carmen came out of it with small scar...her brother... a broken arm that required surgery. She stoutly maintained if he hadn't made the crude remark it wouldn't have happened.
While in her college years, Carmen came in contact with the Watchers when she saved a little girl from drowning...that turned out to be a Lyncanth. This didn't surprise her, as the girl had always known there HAD to be more in the world than what was told. The organization was impressed with her great presence of mind, and hired her the second she graduated from the University of Chicago.
Carmen has been accepting assignments from them ever since, and has seen more than most "norms" do even in their nightmares. Yes she's never been phased by the sights and experiences. In her minds eyes these are still people who need someone with her qualifications and talents. Yet....her fantasy of a mansion and perfect boss have never been far from her mind....and now...they're about to be fulfilled.
